The three-part series will showcase the Aplomado Falcon, the Guianan
Toucanet and the Red-crowned Parrots. An email was sent to community
volunteers asking them for help in spotting the Red-crowned Parrots. "I
think the people of Harlingen can be really proud that they've got these
rare birds as neighbors. But it's not only the parrots -- the birdlife of
Harlingen and surrounding areas is so unique and special that I'll
definitely be back!" said James Currie, the host of the show.

"Working with the South Texas Nature Co-op gives us a great opportunity to
highlight the great birding that we have in Harlingen and around the Rio
Grande Valley," said Nydia Tapia Gonzales, director of the Harlingen CVB.
It was a regional cooperation effort that made it possible for the
three-part series to be successfully shot in the Rio Grande Valley.

"I'd been aware of 'Birding Adventures TV' as the new and very
up-and-coming thing in birding and nature shows. We had a fun time with
them seeking and filming Harlingen's wild Red-crowned Parrot population.
The Fox cable show does a good job of highlighting special species and
special areas, like our completely unique community here in the Rio Grande
Valley," said Marci Fuller, chairwoman of the Rio Grande Valley Birding
Festival.

Harlingen continues to lead the birding community with the Rio Grande
Valley Birding Festival that celebrated its 16th year. The attendance and
the number of species that were spotted during the three-day festival were
the best in years.

The Great Texas Birding Classic 2010 recently selected Harlingen as the
host for the closing events of the 2010 GTBC. They expect the 14th Annual
GTBC to be bigger and better this year.

The Harlingen CVB is an organization that promotes and markets Harlingen,
Texas.
